On March 29, Warwick police responded to the Cowesett Hills Apartment Complex at 3595 Post Rd. around 4 a.m. for a report of a home invasion. The residents called 911 and said multiple subjects entered the apartment and that they may have knives and guns.

Upon arrival, the officers located two victims; one victim identified as Andre Shakir, 24, of the same address; and a second victim who was also a resident. Police said Shakir had minor lacerations as a result of the disturbance but refused medical treatment.
